Arrows Grand Prix International was a British constructor founded in 1977 by Franco Ambrosio, Alan Rees, Jackie Oliver, Dave Wass and Tony Southgate. It made its debut in 1978, almost taking victory in Sweden with Riccardo Patrese, who finished second. Over 25 seasons it started 291 Grands Prix and took 8 podiums, but it never won a race, the closest being Damon Hill's second place at the 1997 Hungarian Grand Prix. Arrows folded in 2002 after financial difficulties.
